Action packed is how our weekends are!!!! Last year was bad with me trying to juggle everything, but this year the moment I feel tired I take a break- keeps me sane and the house without some loud shouting ;)

The parfait looks splendid and juicy and I actually seem to have all the ingeredients!!

Thank you so much for a super-simple recipe! The least work involved in preparing food, the more I like it. And it looks tasty too. (Has anybody in foodieworld done an event "Cooking for dummies like me"?

RCYou are right, weekends here are pretty stressful :) And still I look forward to Friday. RC, I used Greek Yougurt Plain. But I have also used the Indian Desi dahi so it is your choice

BWMOh no, I am fine. It is almost the same every weekend and thankfully I did not have to invite anyone so that was good. Sometimes socializing gets on your nerves ;-)

Just use home made dahi, sweeten it with honey as I mentioned. Don't buy the sweetened one. Try having this instead of a sundae, much healthier

SuganyaThats because you did it during the week like agood girl :)

MiriThe problem if I take a break I worry more, so I feel more relaxed if I am done with my chores. Sometimes though i try to finish stuff on Thu-Fri so that weekend is more relaxing

Sheryes, isn't it delicious ?

Nagsha ,ha....there are still things not done, only I didn't post them here :)

Musyyes, and someone to serve me in bed and then take the dishes away and put them in the dishwasher too while I don't move my rear end from the quilt ;-)

MummyjaanYou are no dummy. Why don't you give us your sheer-korma recipe ? And yes I like recipes that are simple to follow too. You will hardly see me cook complicated stuff. i am awed by bloggers who do that

VegYum

yes me too :) tired, not impressed

Padmaja

Not really tired. isn't it same for most of us, more so when there are kids around. I would hardly do these stuff before S was born

Sra

Are you back or blogging from vacation ? Got inspired by Manisha but as you see could not keep up

IndoEnjoy the weekend or not don't know but definitely a healthy way to have your dessert

You, too, with the pomegranates, Sandeepa! I used bottled imported molasses in my last recipe, but you can create your own with juice and sugar boiled down to syrup. That's a light and yummy mix of flavors w/ little guilt.

I see I'm not the only one who hops from grocer to grocer. I went to three over the weekend myself! LOL!

long list of weekend tasks, huh? :) but hey, you did them all -well, almost all but that's great! :) The parfait looks delish! Love the backgound play of colors with the cream and pink. Saree? Dupatta? The baked fish chops look really yum too.

Yeah...weekends are too full of chores, especially the laundry business..my least fav job in the world...any advice about how to make it interesting and have a cheerful disposition like you :) ? That's why I am going to miss my grad life because I can work (ahem!) from home on weekdays sometimes and everything seems calmer.

Sandeepa, you've missed your calling in life. You should have been a food photographer. This was an awesome picture. Straight off TV or newspaper classy ads. I always marvel at your creatively composed photos. I loved the one of little S's hands, shadow and light, to show her 'colour' and of course your banner is amazing too. But I loved this latest picture.

I love the way you write. I worked in kolkata for 1 year, my laws are from there (gujju's) but have never tasted bong food as i always thought of it to be fish delicacies. Love to hear some vegetarian bong dishes from you.

Fabulous recipe...no sugar...more honey and to top it all flax seeds and pomegranate seeds...hats off to you. I have a packet of flax seeds and flax seed powder at home and now I have a recipe that allows me to reach out to those packets. Thanks a tonne.
